Drone technology is changing our future. We can now digitize the physical world better, faster, and cheaper than ever before. Data that was historically captured by satellite or manned aircraft for $thousands and $hundreds, now costs just $pennies. Today we can collect information from places that were previously inaccessible or too dangerous for people to access. And that has opened a market that will help us solve many problems facing humanity today including food production, climate change, security, jobs, and more.
But much like the introduction of other transformative technologies, many businesses are going to fail along the way, and the Drone as a Service, (DAAS), industry is no different. In this article I will attempt to highlight some of the opportunities and risks of doing business in the drone services market.
